Yin and Yang Taoist Code

"There's nothing we can do if we don't agree!"

The little fat man smiled bitterly and spread his hands.

"We have no choice but to save Hai Wufeng, right? Is it possible that we really want to rob the prison? You also heard what my grandfather said yesterday. Even he can't do anything. Apart from negotiating terms with the old emperor, do you think I have other options? ?"

Thinking back to Mu Fangli who arrived yesterday, everyone fell silent.

When he learned that Li Chuyi was in trouble, Old Man Mu immediately came over to kill him. After several checks, he confirmed that Li Chuyi was really fine, and then he felt relieved.

But the old man was still angry. He rolled up his sleeves and was about to argue with Emperor Yanling. Just at this moment, the imperial edict came. Li Chuyi was fine, but the ninth prince who died tragically was convicted of a felony. Not to mention that all his glory was gone. The corpse was buried with royal rites only because the old emperor "remembered the family ties in the past". Li Chuyi stopped talking about it, and Mu Fangli even thought of it as a sneer and asked the eunuch who passed the order His face was very strange, and he didn't know what expression to make.

Knowing that King Zhenxi was busy ransacking his house and had no time to come over, Mu Fangli immediately wanted to step in and order a "surprise gift" for his grandson. After hearing the eunuch say that King Zhenxi would come to see him off in person afterwards, he gave up and left before leaving. The eunuch's face almost cramped when he walked, and his steps were so hurried that he wanted to fly away from him immediately.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Chuyi embellished Hai Wufeng's story and told Mu Fangli. The result was not as expected by Yuwen Taihao. Old Mu looked embarrassed. Although he did not refuse, his eyes said everything.

After briefing Li Chuyi on the past events of Dayan, Mu Fangli expressed his helplessness in a tactful way. Finally, he told Li Chuyi not to interfere in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble.

Mu Fangli's attitude was actually quite understandable to Li Chuyi. Back then, King Jinsheng was so powerful that even the Mu family looked down upon them. The Hai family even suppressed the Nalan family under the Mu family for several times. For the first time, he refused to give face to the Nalan family or even humiliated the Nalan family in public. This was equivalent to a slap in the face of the Mu family. It was strange that Mu Fangli, the head of the family at the time, was so angry.

Hai Wufeng and Li Chuyi were familiar with each other, which was not a reason for Mu Fangli to help. Especially when he learned that Li Chuyi was determined to save people for Yu Yao, he shook his head a hundred times.

At the same time, he also vaguely pointed out the same doubts as Emperor Yanling, fearing that Hai Wufeng was really King Jinsheng's evil seed. If King Jinsheng's unclean remnants were brought up again, Dayan would not be peaceful. .

In his words, this is a major matter of the country. Let alone Li Chuyi, who is just a prince, even if he is the prince or even Emperor Yan, he must not condone this matter. He would rather kill him by mistake than let it go.

After rejecting Mu Dong's invitation to stay, Li Chu immediately sat down on the chair after Mu Fangli took the people away, feeling as big as his head or two.

He has never met King Jinsheng, but from the attitudes of these people, he can feel how deep the shadow left by King Jinsheng is, and all of this is now on Hai Wufeng, an insignificant remnant of the Hai family. He became a target and almost everyone wanted him dead.

If it weren't for Yu Yao, Li Chuyi really wouldn't want to care about this mess. Hai Wufeng and him are old acquaintances, but their friendship has not reached that level. He will die if he dies. At most, he will give him two sticks of incense during festivals in the future, and he will not have to endure the grievances and have no choice but to make an exchange. .

I originally hoped that Emperor Yanling could punish him for some crime so that he could have a reason to reject Yuwen Taihao's proposal. But now it's better. First, the eunuch delivered the edict, and today Yuwen Taihao personally came to convey Emperor Yanling's wishes. Li Chuyi really wanted to refuse, but imagining Yu Yao, he could only swallow his words and nodded in agreement. Come down.

As for how this works, he doesn't have to worry about it yet. Yuwen Taihao promised to mediate and let him stay well and choose an auspicious day to prepare to enter the palace to meet the saint. This date should not be too close, so as not to appear impatient and disadvantaged. Yuwen Taihao will consider the details and communicate with him when the time is right.

Li Chuyi also expressed his understanding of this. Emperor Yanling guessed what they were thinking, and even though he didn't get all the answers, he guessed most of them. It was one thing to avoid being impatient, but more importantly, Yuwen Taihao wanted to distance himself from the relationship as much as possible. Even though Emperor Yanling had already said it was okay, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

The Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and being careless will only cost you your own life.

Therefore, Li Chuyi's decision today did not go beyond the expectations of Li Sinian and others. Li Chuyi didn't hide anything from them, and they knew Li Chuyi's character and obsession, so they were not surprised, just a little awkward.

"How do you look like an emperor?"

Li Sinian looked at the little fat man strangely, from head to toe and then from toe to head. The more he looked, the more he shook his head in shock.

Rolling his eyes, the little fat man said angrily: "I didn't say I would be a prince. I just promised him to be the eldest prince, and then negotiated with the old emperor. After he promised to let the sea be calm, I would be the prince. In addition, wait As soon as Hai Wufeng is out of trouble, we will evacuate immediately. Does the prince love him? Who cares? I don’t want to do such a life-threatening job!"

"No, are you really not moved at all?"

Li Sinian didn't believe it.

"Prince, the future Emperor Yan, the entire Dayan belongs to you, are you really willing to give up?"

"Is there anything strange?"

The little fat man stared at him.

"Uncle Fourth, what are you practicing for?"

Li Sinian was startled and said casually: "Of course it is to become an immortal and live forever!"

"Then it's over!"

Shrugging his shoulders, the little fat man said: "We are all monks, and the purpose of cultivation is to live a few more years as an immortal. Does the size of Dayan's territory have anything to do with becoming an immortal? Does it make sense to be the emperor of Yan and command the world? Wait until you become one. What's wrong with the gods? When the time comes to stand in front of Emperor Yan, won't he have to kneel down to you? In order to protect your own safety on the road of cultivation, there is no problem with you. Don’t forget that the purpose of doing this is for your own cultivation, not to dominate the world and become the ancestor and emperor. That is the luxury of ordinary people, not ours!”

"Persistent pursuit of rights is not what we should do at all. It is putting the cart before the horse. Our practice is to transcend the mortal world, not to tie ourselves tighter! Don't you see how many people in Dayan's dominance have ascended to immortality for ten thousand years? I admit that the Dayan Dynasty founded by Yuwen Wuji and Mu Qiming is indeed awesome, but thinking about it from another perspective, if they had not thought so much back then, but had developed step by step according to normal conditions, the Yuwen family and the Mu family would have Maybe they are still two small and big families in the human world, but it is possible that there will be no immortals from these two families, and other clans and sects in the human world may not be as unlucky as they are now!"

"So I have always felt that these two people are very contradictory. They are both great men and sinners. It was they who made the Yuwen family and the Mu family stand at the top of the human world, but they were also the ones who sealed the immortal sect above the top, causing so many A person with profound immortality can only sit and stare at the sky, watching himself grow older day by day, until he dies with regret at the end of his life, leaving only legends of his glorious life ending dimly in the world. Do you think this is interesting? "

It was rare for Li Chuyi to say such serious words for a few times. Several people were deeply touched when they heard this, and they all lowered their heads and thought deeply without saying a word.

Although some of these words are biased, they are generally very correct. The world of monks is such a contradiction. People gather together for their own spiritual path. When more people gather, classes and rights will arise. Classes and rights bring security but also benefits. Interests can make one progress further. It's fast but makes others jealous.

As a result, disputes emerged and wars raged. Individuals and forces participated actively or forcedly. Countless clans became disillusioned and countless monks turned into smoke. But they couldn't stop, because once it started, it would never stop. No one can escape from the endless cycle that cannot be stopped.

Nowadays, the throne of Dayan is placed in front of Li Chuyi. It can be said that it is almost within his reach, but he does not dare to accept it. Because even if he has his original soul, the "Tao Code" and even a trace of chaos, he can't guarantee that he won't get lost in the beauty of power and lose his original intention.

Moreover, he is also very self-aware, and he knows very well that he is not qualified for such a big thing. It's okay to let him be a small landowner and a young master, but if you let him run a big family, nine times out of ten, the family will be ruined. It doesn't matter if the family is broken, but if someone dies, he doesn't want to take that responsibility.

This job would be okay if it were a Taoist priest, but it's a pity that the Taoist sees things more clearly than he does, and would sneer at him just like him. They are people standing outside the endless loop, watching the silly geese chasing each other in circles in the endless loop. How can they jump in and become one of them?

Li Sinian was a casual cultivator and could not be said to be suffering from hunger and cold, but his life in the past was not very good, so he was relatively slow to accept Li Chuyi's ideas.

However, Fang Junnan and Liu Mingxiu were from different backgrounds. They had been accustomed to the intrigues between factions since they were young. In addition, they saw the warm and cold feelings during the elopement. They were the quickest to agree with Li Chuyi's ideas.

As Li Chuyi said, no matter how powerful you are, it doesn't matter if you are the emperor of the world. No matter how high you stand in the human world, can you compare with the gods?

They are monks, extraordinary people between immortals and mortals. It is inevitable to be entangled in trivial matters in the mortal world, but to go back and forth and persevere is to put the cart before the horse.

At the same time, Yuwen Taihao had just returned to Zhenxi Prince's Mansion and sat down in his study. Before he could take a breath, the monk quietly appeared in front of him, as if he had been standing there all along. , no one could see how he got in.

"The Master has been coming very frequently these past two days. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will find out?" Yuwen Taihao said indifferently, not at all surprised by the way the monk appeared.

The monk smiled casually: "I miss you rarely, but I hate you often. It's because the prince's mood has changed, not because the monk comes frequently."

"Haha, the mage is always right. I can't say anything to you."

Yuwen Taihao smiled lightly, and his expression turned condensed.

"Master, I don't know why I came here today? But you came to check something entrusted to me? Then you are here at the right time. I have just returned from Li Chuyi's place, and the things have been handed over to him. As for whether to use them or not." , Haha, that’s beyond my control.”

The monk chuckled and shook his head.

"As for the prince, the young monk has always believed in the prince, and naturally he will not do those censorship matters. As for whether to use it or not, it is just left to chance. The young monk has never forced anything, let alone the prince. Everything is fate and fruition, and cannot be forced. . The young monk made a special trip to visit the prince. The prince was angry yesterday. The monk was afraid that your old injury would relapse, so he came here to give you medicine. I hope the prince can sympathize with the painstaking efforts of the prince. "

With a wave of his hand, a jade box that was exactly the same as yesterday slowly fell in front of Yuwen Taihao. It opened it without waiting for him to touch it, and a brown-red pill filled with blood appeared inside.

Without looking at the pill, Yuwen Taihao stared into the monk's eyes, and nodded gently after a moment.

"The Master is very considerate, and I would like to express my deep gratitude."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. You and I are working together to achieve great things for the common people. How can I just sit back and watch your Majesty suffer? This is what we should do."

After saying this, the monk paused, his smile remained unchanged, and his pupils shrank slightly.

"However, the young monk does have something to inquire about. Based on the prince's understanding of the child, how likely do you think he is to use that magic pill on himself?"

Yuwen Taihao laughed: "Isn't it just a matter of chance?"

The monk was not embarrassed, so he smiled and said: "You know the Buddhist heart of the young monk, you are just curious."

"That's it."

Nodding vaguely, Yuwen Taihao smiled calmly.

"I'm curious too, but who knows, haha."
